As the global aromatics industry continues to grow, so does demand for relevant feedstocks. Whilst feedstock production is increasing, incremental availability may struggle to keep up with demand growth, with a shifting emphasis from pyrolysis gas (pygas) to reformate. In light of these changes, it's crucial to stay abreast of both upstream and downstream developments, to make informed decisions when participating in the aromatics market.

The World Petrochemical Feedstock Survey for Aromatics offers essential insights into primary aromatic production and feedstocks, exploring supply and demand for the key oil products interfacing the aromatics industry, naphtha and gasoline, and the main aromatics feedstocks, pygas and reformate. Supported by information from the ICIS Supply and Demand Database, along with analysis from a team of global experts, it provides a clear view of the current situation and outlook for key feedstocks and regions, including details of gasoline production by major components.

'As feedstock demand grows, diversification is becoming increasingly essential for aromatics players. Understanding the different challenges and opportunities in each region is vital, as shifting global trends are countered by unique regional dynamics. The World Petrochemical Feedstocks Survey for Aromatics provides a comprehensive review of aromatics feedstocks, and the direction of major commodities and markets,' said Stefano Zehnder, Senior Consultant Global Refining & Petrochemical Feedstocks, ICIS Consulting.
